Would it look wierd painting the back cover of the mirrors white or should I leave it black? The whole bike is being painted white. What do u guys think

Dunno, it's up to you. Ducati and MV do it from the factory, and there are a few companies that sell aftermarket mirrors that are painted.
I say painting them white will attract the eye towards them, and who wants to highlight mirrors? Leave them black.

By far the coolest thing I have seen is the little silver headlight surrounds painted white. I can't find the pic of the guy who did that.
skunky

ida know.. i just keep thinking about cheap cars with that black abs molding strip and mirrors, sometimes even bumper covers. ugly. i would say on an ALL-WHITE bike, abs black mirrors would look ridculous imho. like really hard to not notice.....try to find some pics of some similar bikes-might help you decide.

I totally agree.....makes sense...it would actually make it look cheaper, differnt with cars.....you don't want to highlight mirrors
Ditch the mirrors and get mirror block offs, and paint those white!
its clean w/o the mirrors...but I need it =)
